BrowserTraySwitch / Re: Google Chrome - non-default profile as default browser how-to?

Reply to myself (in case others have same question):
Make a copy of the btsreg file and change occurrences of -- "%1" to --user-data-dir="<path-to-profile-folder" -- "%1"
There s/b three occurrences, one each for http, https, and ftp.
Here is a patch file that does the above (you will have to change for local conditions)
As noted in Help file an icon can be specified by putting an ico file in the folder containing the btsreg file with the same name.
This will be displayed by BroswerTraySwitch tray icon instead of the normal Google Chrome icon.
